User talk:CheeseDreams -ban notice

I think you made an error in your summary. CheeseDreams' bans are to run consecutively (ie: one after the other), not concurrently (ie: with their clocks all starting at the same time) as you have stated in your summary. See point 7 of the final decision and your summary for CheeseDreams. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:16, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Doh! thanks for picking that up Tony. I've fixed it in both places I made the mistake -- sannse (talk) 17:57, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

(Just to clarify, I did know what I was voting for, just got my words muddled when writing the summary -- sann)

Image:Los Angeles skyline daytime 2.jpg

Hello. I tagged it ((PD)) only because the uploader User:MattSal had claimed "This image is in the public domain." If his comment was incorrect, then the tag is incorrect too. He seems to have been gone since early December, and it looks like he previously changed his mind about whether the image was fair use or public domain, so he may be confused. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 20:36, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Quadell, it does look somewhat unclear, I've replied in my usual vague fashion ;) -- sannse (talk) 17:16, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Mail

Hey Sannse, I sent you an email of something to be aware of, I do not know if you received it.

Dee Dee Warren 14:21, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Dee Dee, Yes I got it and have commented on the talk page -- sannse (talk) 17:16, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Email

Hi! That makes sense since I've been wondering why I haven't received anything from several people lately :( Please tell him to use villekoistinen(at)hotmail.com instead. Thanks for giving me this information! Vzb83 21:13, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We have a special 'license' template in fi.Wiki that says the image is licensed to be used in Wikipedia only. I therefore assumed it was a common way. I can use the GFDL license in the future if I'm asking for permissions, although I think it will be a lot harder to explain properly. Also, I can't see any reason why a picture that has a permission to be used in Wikipedia only wouldn't be as eligible here as GFDL or PD pics. Vzb83 21:55, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Your break

Hope things are well, and that you are having a nice break! :) Dysprosia 11:09, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Dysprosia, it certainly helped :) -- sannse (talk) 23:36, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User 65.39.159.10

Hi Sannse. FYI, I noticed that you blocked IP 65.39.159.10 for vandalism (I presume). Well the IP seems now to be unblocked and back to vandalizing, see: [[1]]. Paul August ☎ 14:40, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

Looks like an isolated one, but he can be blocked quickly enough if it continues. Best to report such things at WP:VIP or WP:AN though, you are more likely to catch someone there is quick action is needed - I've been mostly away for a week or two -- sannse (talk) 23:36, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Sannse. Yes, I could see that the IP wasn't going on a vandalism spree. But I wanted to give you a heads-up since you had had some experience with the IP. Paul August ☎ 13:32, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

OK, thanks Paul -- 13:43, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Welcome "back"

Your voice of reason & experience is always welcome in the Kingdom of the Dog Project, and missed when it's gone. I need a break, too, but I always obsessively try to catch up to everything I missed when I come back, which ruins the whole concept. Elf | Talk 01:06, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Elf. Yes, the need to catch up does sort of defeat the object, but then so does not quite being able to stay away ;) -- sannse (talk) 10:43, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Methionylglutaminy...serine

What browser are you using, which doesn't support soft hyphens? They work for me on MSIE6SP2/Win, Opera/Win, and Mozilla Firefox/Win. I know it also works on Safari/Mac, Omniweb/Mac, and Opera and Firefox for all platforms. I wasn't aware there were any browsers left which didn't support the character. 11:08, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That's strange - I'm using Firefox, so if you've looked at that I'm not sure what's wrong. But to me, it just ends up as one long line needing a lot of scrolling to read. -- sannse (talk) 11:19, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Apparently I just happened to be using a nightly with a fix. I just installed FF 1.01, and notice it's still broken in the official release. Yet another old bug in Gecko: bug 9101 I guess that means I'll have to use hard hyphens for now. -- Jordi (Anárion)^¿…? 11:24, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

A bit more info from people on IRC - Firefox 1.0.1, Mozilla 1.7 and MSIE Mac don't wrap; IE 6 and Safari do... so it's quite variable. So yes, hard hyphens for now it seems -- sannse (talk) 11:30, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:Sannse/dog watch and more

• Halló Sannse! I have seen the note about User:Sannse/dog watch in "recent changes". It seems that some articles from Category:Dog types as Hound, Gun dog etc. are missing.
• Maybe it would be a good idea to add also Wikipedia:List of images/Nature/Animals/Dogs. Regarding the images I would like to know if there are plans to move the (all) / some images to commons: in order to use them in other Wikipedias as well. Best regards Gangleri | [2] - which seems sensible to me. So the recreation wasn't a change of mind, just the remainder of the deletion process. -- sannse (talk) 19:39, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ah, OK. Thanks for clarifying and for providing a link to the policy — couldn't find it myself (wouldn't have expected to find it amongst the criteria for speedy deletion). Regards, — mark ✎ 20:18, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary

[3] Hyacinth 02:05, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

When did reminding another contributor about Wikipedia guidelines become ridiculous? Hyacinth 06:06, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Would you have rather that I wrote a long letter explaining how conveniently forgetting to add an edit summary to controversial changes is dishonest and not good faith? Hyacinth 21:01, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I believe "none of your business" would have been "nuff said", but since you took an interest this is a wiki, and you could have done the same. Hyacinth 09:57, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hararssment by a banned user

Although EntmootsOfTrolls has been hard banned, he repeatedly resurfaces on Wikipedia in various guises, usually with anonymous IPs beginning with 142.xxx. (And he repeatedly is blocked, over and over.) Well, he has just made a new attack on on my User discussion page, for the "crime" of following standard Wikipedia policy for the deletion of a duplicate article.

(1) EntmootsOfTrolls (EoT) originally broke Wikipedia policy by creating his own article on Ethics, parallel to our real article. His parallel article existed solely to promote his own point of view. All I did was follow standard polict for redirection or deletion, by asking others for their input. Yet see EoT's diatribe against me on my home page!

(2) He is publicly accusing me of "censorship" on the Ethics article. (This is despite the fact that the edits I made are part of the consensus version that has been accepted by the vast majority of all editors of this article.)

(3) He explicitly violated Wikipedia policy by anonymously deleting the link which had the article say "This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Please see this article's entry on the Votes for Deletion page for voting and discussion on the matter." When an article is up for discussion on such issues, a single user may not unilaterally just delete this. So do you have any suggestions? I'd hate for this banned user to start an edit war. Its only a matter of time before he goes after other of his self-perceived adversaries. RK 20:02, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry RK, I don't have any insightful solutions to this problem. EntmootsOfTrolls is banned, absolutely and (excepting a surprise decision by Jimbo) irrevocably. As you know, the problem is purely a technical one of keeping him off the site. At the moment, all we can do is revert him, block him, and refuse to respond to him. Any articles that are clearly by him can be deleted. This applies to any sockpuppet of his we find (with due care to identify these accurately of course). If at any time this conflicts with your revert limitation, then I would suggest a note on WP:AN to ask for help in reverting. Apologies for the slow response to your message -- sannse (talk) 17:31, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tkorrovi vs Paul Beardsell

User Chinasaur moved comments from Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Tkorrovi vs. Paul Beardsell, remaining his there and moving mine [4], just after I put a link on an evidence page to that page [5] because it contains important information. Also, he moved a question about his nationality to my talk page [6]. I understand the reason, but I demand for me an equal right, to remove mentioning my nationality against my will by Matthew Stannard from that page (unfortunately cannot provide diff, as the commentary was moved that after).Tkorrovi 02:53, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
